Dixon was recalled from Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Monday.

Dixon is recalled just a day after being sent down to Triple-A El Paso to replace Luis Campusano after Campusano was placed on the injured list with a thumb sprain. Dixon is starting in right against Atlanta on Monday, but his stay in the majors could be short with Fernando Tatis coming off the suspended list Thursday.

Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

For the fifth time in seven games, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face yet another southpaw pitcher. Wilmer Flores will occupy Wade's usual spot at first base versus Miami lefty Jesus Luzardo, while Thairo Estrada serves as San Francisco's leadoff man.

Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

It's the first day off this season for the reigning National League MVP. Brendan Donovan will handle first base and Nolan Gorman will play second.

Steer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays due to a sore right knee, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Steer exited Sunday's 14-3 loss to the Phillies with the injury and is viewed as day-to-day, but he'll need to miss at least one game on account of the issue. Nick Senzel is covering third base Monday in Steer's stead.

Hiura went 6-for-24 (.250) with five home runs, eight RBI and a 2:7 BB:K over his last six games with Triple-A Nashville.

Hiura opened the season in the minors for the first time since 2019, and opposing pitchers have offered little resistance thus far. That's not surprising, as Hiura now owns a 1.005 OPS across 133 Triple-A games. The hot streak would seem to put him in the mix for a call-up, but the Brewers seem set at first base and the DH spot for the time being. A trade is a possibility, but Hiura went unclaimed after being designated for assignment in late March, so outside interest appears light. Hiura is bound to get another shot in the majors at some point; it's just uncertain when that will arrive.

Montero went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Sunday against the Mariners.

Montero started at third base for the second consecutive day since returning from a three-game absence caused by a thumb injury. He collected an RBI knock in Saturday's matchup, but he has gone just 1-for-6 with three strikeouts since his return. Despite a 31.8 percent strikeout across 44 plate appearances on the season, Montero has maintained a .310/.341/.452 line.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Alonso came up big once again, after he capitalized on a mistake from Dany Jimenez and sent a fastball over the wall in center field to tie the game up at 3-3 in the ninth inning. It was his league-leading eighth home run and his third over the last four games. Alonso has also tallied at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games and has been a fantasy star in the early going of the season.

Steer exited Sunday's game against Philadelphia due to a knee injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Manager David Bell revealed after Sunday's matchup that Steer suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning and landed on it while fielding a grounder in the top of the ninth. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, but Nick Senzel and Jason Vosler could see additional time at third base if Steer is sidelined.

Steer was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies in the top of the ninth inning due to an apparent injury, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Steer appeared to hurt himself while fielding a grounder in the top of the ninth, and while the nature of his injury isn't yet clear, he was removed following the play. Prior to his departure, he went 2-for-3 with a run and a walk. Whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener against the Rays remains to be seen.

Dixon was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

The 31-year-old was called up by San Diego last weekend and went 1-for-10 with a run and eight strikeouts in four games. Catcher Brett Sullivan was promoted in a corresponding move, as Luis Campusano (thumb) is banged up.
